Dental Insurance

Note: See links to additional dental insurance information on the left.

The State of Illinois' dental insurance plan is available to both University of Illinois employees and their dependents who are eligible to receive benefits and who are enrolled in one of the health insurance plans.

All employees may choose to not have dental coverage while keeping health and life coverage. If you elect not to participate in the dental plan, any enrolled dependents will also not have dental coverage. If you decide to not participate, you will not be allowed to re-enroll until the next Benefit Choice period.

If an employee and the employee's spouse are both insured as full-time employees of the University or any other State of Illinois agency, each must be insured individually. Either or both spouse may elect health coverage for dependents; however, the same dependent cannot be enrolled under both spouses for the same type of health, dental or life coverage.
